Single Braid

Single braids are ropes designed without the separate core found in double braids. The flexible, supple construction of single braids absorbs twist and resists kinking. Single braids are ideal for mainsheets, jib sheets, spinnaker sheets, furling lines and traveler lines. 

FSE Robline's Racing Sheet is designed for dinghy mainsheets, jib sheets and spinnaker sheets. Marlow's 8-Plait Marstron is great for lightweight mainsheets, jib sheets and spinnaker sheets on dinghies and sport boats. Its polypropylene construction also makes it good for safety lines, tow lines and throwing lines. New England Ropes' Bzzz Line is perfect for mainsheets on Lightnings, Lasers, Optimists and Stars. It also works well on larger boats for control lines and mainsheet fine-tune. Salsa Line is a great choice for ultra-strong, ultra-soft sheets on larger one-designs and keelboats, such as J24's, Sonars and Finns. VectranŽ is especially good for halyards, afterguys, backstays and control line systems. 

Samson's AmSteel DyneemaŽ ropes provide maximum strength-to-weight ratio, extremely low stretch, superior flex fatigue and wear resistance. AmSteel-Blue outlasts wire 3:1, making it an excellent wire rope replacement. All of these characteristics make AmSteel DyneemaŽ great for a wide variety of running rigging applications, as well as kite, wakeboard, and water-ski lines.
